Newly appointed CSU Chancellor requests salary reduction Senator Leland Yee commended the new California State University Chancellor Timothy White for requesting to reduce his own salary by 10 percent. Senator Yee described how this change in values from the previous Chancellor, Charles B. Reed, leads him to believe that White’s core values and the “symbolic gesture” to students shows his commitment to change in the University system.

Program Helps Hard-Working Families Increase their Financial Capabilities San Jose CALIFORNIA Peninsula Family Service, founded more than 60 years ago in San Mateo County, held its Santa Clara County Expansion Event for its Ways to Work Vehicle Loan Program on November 14. Nationally recognized, the Ways to Work Vehicle Loan Program offers hard-working families the opportunity to access lowcost loans to assist in the purchase of pre-owned cars needed to more easily meet job demands while raising children.

The program is available to families who live or work in either San Mateo or Santa Clara County and are in need of a reliable vehicle but do not have a credit rating that enables them to get a traditional loan or who could only get one at a very high interest rate. The program was launched to help combat predatory lending practices targeting families struggling to get ahead.

Highlighting the importance of the Ways to Work Vehicle Loan Program, Rob Lajoie, Financial Empow-

erment Program Director said, “Convenient transportation is such an important part of our way of life in the Bay Area. Families without a reliable vehicle often find themselves struggling to hold onto their jobs and maintain their quality of life. The Ways to Work Vehicle Loan Program provides them with access to affordable car loans that can help them keep their jobs and maintain a stable home for their families.”

The Emcee for the Ways to Work Expansion Event was Carolyn Johnson, ABC7 News anchor and a member of the Peninsula Family Service board of directors. Additional speakers included Jeff Faulkner, President, Ways to Work, Inc.; Glen Brooks, Jr., Interim Executive Director at Peninsula Family Service; Celeste Fiore, VTA; Jim Dale, United Way Silicon Valley; and a commendation from Lara McCabe, policy aide in the office of Supervisor Dave Cortese.

Closing out the event were two client speakers, Regina and Alisha, with Alisha receiving a ceremonial car key from Audi Stevens Creek

where she recently purchased her vehicle.

Ways to Work, Inc. currently operates 50 sites in 22 states and to date has helped nearly 30,000 families access more than $60 million in affordable car loans. The program also provides focused financial education, credit repair guidance and individual coaching that helps families become financially capable and self-sufficient. The majority of Ways to Work loan recipients are single mothers who make multiple stops throughout their day in order to transport children to and from childcare, commute to and from work, and secure basic necessities for their families.

More than 94 percent of program participants report that their car loan helped them maintain or improve their employment situation; 58 percent opened a bank account; 50 percent reported an increase in earnings; and 26 percent indicated that they have increased their educational attainment since receiving the Ways to Work loan.

OPINION

SHARE YOUR ABUNDANCE THANKFULLY

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

Last Wednesday, October 31st, I looked out the window viewing the steady stream of wildlife that is indigenous to the microecosystem which I, as a gardening hobbyist try to sustain. The Cherry tree retains its big leafs; the apricot tree is beginning to lose its yellowish foliage; each harbors small chickadees with a black skull cap, and the several hanging baskets having bright red impatiens flowers contrast with the dark green foliage beyond.

Squirrels are chasing each other….I believe its their mating season. All have very furry, fluffy tails which portend of a lengthy winter.

In the course of seasons, I have watched raccoons and field rats foraging, opossums, mallard ducks, artic geese, field mice, blue jays, robins, morning doves, and a host of flying insects.

White winged butterflies and monarchs, which are magnificent. Even the termites have behaved by only being in the firewood. The house is warm and comfortable, electric power is on; computer and its printer works. Phone lines, radio, and TV work; water lines, sewer lines, and utility lines all are doing their job. The furnace, stove, dishwasher, and clothes washer all work when used. These are all the mundane services which we take for granted until we do not have them.

Be thankful that we live in a valley, Silicon Valley aka Santa Clara Valley, whose soil is fertile, weather is envied by others who come here and stay, and whose

Mediterranean climate is superb. Be thankful. This year the rain came in sequences that supported the winter vegetables planted already. Cauliflower, onions, chard, Brussels sprouts, garlic, sweet peas, lettuce, spinach and chives. All need no watering because the morning dew seems to be enough.

Despite a high unemployment rate, most people have food, shelter, and social relationships. We focus on the needy, handicapped, failing elderly, and devilish youth who present challenges of different sorts. All these can be addressed and managed if we share our abundance gracefully with thanks to an ecosystem which we enjoy and did not create. If anything, we have the power to destroy it with our abuses and negligence. Let us be thankful that all works well where we live. But, there are those who are not so fortunate at this time.

Recently, along the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard of America, stretching from Florida to Massachusetts a mega storm named Hurricane Sandy interrupted the presidential election campaign….in fact all ‘normal’ social and economic activities were suspended for two days. Thankfully only about 150 individual’s lives were lost, however, millions lost all the services which we still have and take for granted. Today, some 14 days later, communities are still without electric power, reliable and accessible transportation, heating and lighting systems that provide comfortable heat and light. All services and utilities have been interrupted or destroyed by the destructive forces of Hurricane Sandy.

Here in Silicon Valley, life is good; our normal activities have not been impacted much. . At our local airports,

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

only those flights to airports located along the Atlantic Seaboard were cancelled.

We take our good life here for granted, however someday a major earthquake is scheduled to happen here.

Will we be prepared? Are we thankful that it has not happened yet? Unfortunately, too many of us are not even thinking about becoming prepared. And too many of us do not think that our modest efforts amount to much.

Be reminded that millions of voters who ignored all that Super-PAC propaganda (costing the ultra wealthy $380 million, are the ones who gave us the opportunity to demonstrate that our individual votes cannot be bought nor influenced by abusive monetary power. Let’s be thankful that we are intelligent enough to know what is good for the people of this community and ultimately this nation.

Let us be thankful this next week on Thanksgiving Day that we are comfortable. Some of our abundance needs to be shared with those unfortunates.

Unlike many other societies, Americans are altruistic. We help each other. We have organizations whose purpose and mission is to serve victims.

Today, Catholic Charities, Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way and several others are all addressing the needs of millions along the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard who, in a brief encounter with a mega storm, lost all material goods possessed.

These victimized millions are experiencing misery and suffering. Be thankful it is not we by making a contribution to one of these national charities assisting them. Share your abundance thankfully

Esperanza, acción y democracia Luisa Fernanda Montero LA RED HISPANA

Después de haber sido testigos y participes de las elecciones que le dieron al presidente Barack Obama la oportunidad de extender por cuatro años su estadía en la Casa Blanca, creo que es sano y necesario reflexionar sobre nuestro papel, como hispanos, en el ejercicio democrático.

Es claro que el electorado hispano tiene mucho que celebrar, pues su participación fue determinante.

Hemos confirmado que las eras en las que se nos podía ignorar como grupo pasaron a la historia.

América ha cambiado.

El entendimiento del mapa demográfico nacional, de sus fluctuaciones y particularidades llevó a los demócratas a triunfar en las urnas. El equipo del señor Obama entendió que el electorado es de colores y se negó a subestimar el papel cada vez más protagónico de hispanos, afroamericanos y asiáticos.

De acuerdo con estadísticas publicadas por medios nacionales, en las elecciones del martes el voto blanco representó el 72 por ciento en las urnas. De ese porcentaje Obama recibió el 39 por ciento. Pero en contraste, se llevó el 80 por ciento de los votos no blancos.

El 93 por ciento de los votos afroamericanos fueron para Obama. El presidente acaparó además el 73 por ciento de los votos asiáticos y el 71 por ciento de los votos hispanos que a propósito, y en contra de muchos pronósticos, superó el porcentaje de votos hispanos demócratas del 2008, que fue del 67 por ciento.

En otras palabras, como lo refleja un reporte del Centro Hispano Pew, el 71 por ciento de los latinos votaron por el presidente Obama, mientras solo el 27 por ciento lo hizo por el

candidato republicano Mitt Romney.

La misma fuente revela que los latinos conformaron en estas elecciones el 10 por ciento del electorado. En el 2008 fuimos el 9 por ciento y en el 2004 el 8 por ciento, lo que quiere decir que nuestra voz y nuestra participación van en aumento.

Otro motivo para celebrar.

Pero nuestros deberes con la democracia en la que vivimos no terminan con nuestro voto. Si bien es cierto que hemos contado y que somos más, también es cierto que podemos mejorar y contar más. Tenemos que lograr que nuestra participación aumente. Eso no es sólo posible, es también indispensable.

Debemos seguir trabajando para que los líderes que elegimos cumplan con sus promesas y avancen en la generación de los cambios que necesitamos como sociedad. Debemos ser ciudadanos participativos.

Tenemos que involucrarnos con las actividades de nuestros representantes, concejales, alcaldes, congresistas y demás funcionarios

elegidos y hacer parte de los grupos civiles de acción comunitaria y política de nuestras localidades y estados.

Analistas, activistas y políticos coinciden en que este es el tiempo de la reforma migratoria. De acuerdo con Frank Sharry, presidente de America´s Voice “las placas tectónicas se están acomodando en tormo a la inmigración. El hecho de que voces líderes de movimientos conservadores se estén uniendo a los líderes republicanos en el llamado a una reforma migratoria que incluya un alivio para los más de 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados que hay en Estados Unidos es un gran avance que les dará la oportunidad a los republicanos de hacer lo correcto y ayudar a pasar la legislación de la reforma”.

Y es que de eso se trata, de hacer lo correcto. De participar y de no olvidar que tenemos el deber y el derecho de levantar la voz cuando nuestros derechos o los de nuestros congéneres se ven violentados. Tenemos mucho por hacer. Usted, ¿ya está listo?

DIOVAN comienza a actuar desde el primer día en que empieza a tomarlo.

Pregúntele a su médico hoy mismo por DIOVAN. Para obtener más información, visite www.DIOVAN.com/es2.

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

DIOVAN (DYE’-o-van) (valsartan) Tablets Read the Patient Information that comes with DIOVAN before you take it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. If you have any questions about DIOVAN, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN? DIOVAN can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your blood pressure if you plan to become pregnant. If you get pregnant while taking DIOVAN, tell your doctor right away.

What is DIOVAN? DIOVAN is a prescription medicine called an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is used in adults to: • lower high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children, 6 to 16 years of age.

• treat heart failure in adults. In these patients, DIOVAN may lower the need for hospitalization that happens from heart failure.

• improve the chance of living longer after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in adults.

DIOVAN is not for children under 6 years of age or children with certain kidney problems.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension). Blood pressure is the force in your blood vessels when your heart beats and when your heart rests. You have high blood pressure when the force is too much. DIOVAN can help your blood vessels relax so your blood pressure is lower. Medicines that lower your blood pressure lower your chance of having a stroke or heart attack.

High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body and causes damage to the blood vessels. If high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure and vision problems.

Heart Failure occurs when the heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. Just walking or moving can make you short of breath, so you may have to rest a lot.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): A heart attack is caused by a blocked artery that results in damage to the heart muscle.

What should I tell my doctor before taking DIOVAN? Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including whether you: • have any allergies. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in DIOVAN. • have a heart condition • have liver problems • have kidney problems • are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?” • are breast-feeding. It is not known if DIOVAN passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take DIOVAN or breast-feed, but not both. Talk with your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you take DIOVAN. • have ever had a reaction called angioedema, to another blood pressure medicine. Angioedema causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue and/or throat, and may cause difficulty breathing.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. Especially tell your doctor if you take: • other medicines for high blood pressure or a heart problem • water pills (also called “diuretics”) • potassium supplements. Your doctor may check the amount of potassium in your blood periodically • a salt substitute. Your doctor may check the amount of potassium in your blood periodically • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) • certain antibiotics (rifamycin group), a drug used to protect against transplant rejection (cyclosporin) or an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV/AIDS infection (ritonavir). These drugs may increase the effect of valsartan.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you to show to your doctor and pharmacist when a new medicine is prescribed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start taking any new medicine. Your doctor or pharmacist will know what medicines are safe to take together.

How should I take DIOVAN? • Take DIOVAN exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• For treatment of high blood pressure, take DIOVAN one time each day, at the same time each day.

• If your child cannot swallow tablets, or if tablets are not available in the prescribed strength, your pharmacist will mix DIOVAN as a liquid suspension for your child. If your child switches between taking the tablet and the suspension, your doctor will adjust the dose as needed.

Shake the bottle of suspension well for at least 10 seconds before pouring the dose of medicine to give to your child.

NOVEMBER 16 - NOVEMBER 22, 2012

• For adult patients with heart failure or who have had a heart attack, take DIOVAN two times each day, at the same time each day. Your doctor may start you on a low dose of DIOVAN and may increase the dose during your treatment.

• DIOVAN can be taken with or without food.

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next dose, do not take the missed dose. Take the next dose at your regular time.

• If you take too much DIOVAN, call your doctor or Poison Control Center, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.

What are the possible side effects of DIOVAN? DIOVAN may cause the following serious side effects: Injury or death to an unborn baby. See “What is the most important information I should know about DIOVAN?” Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension). Low blood pressure is most likely to happen if you also take water pills, are on a low-salt diet, get dialysis treatments, have heart problems, or get sick with vomiting or diarrhea. Lie down, if you feel faint or dizzy. Call your doctor right away.

Kidney problems. Kidney problems may get worse if you already have kidney disease. Some patients will have changes on blood tests for kidney function and may need a lower dose of DIOVAN. Call your doctor if you get swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands, or unexplained weight gain. If you have heart failure, your doctor should check your kidney function before prescribing DIOVAN. The most common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people with high blood pressure include: • headache • tiredness • dizziness • stomach (abdominal) pain • flu symptoms Side effects were generally mild and brief. They generally have not caused patients to stop taking DIOVAN. The most common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people with heart failure include: • dizziness • joint and back pain • low blood pressure • tiredness • diarrhea • high blood potassium Common side effects of DIOVAN used to treat people after a heart attack which caused them to stop taking the drug include: • low blood pressure • cough • high blood creatinine (decreased kidney function) • rash Tell your doctor if you get any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

These are not all the possible side effects of DIOVAN. For a complete list, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

How do I store DIOVAN? • Store DIOVAN tablets at room temperature between 59° to 86°F (15°C - 30°C).

• Keep DIOVAN tablets in a closed container in a dry place.

• Store bottles of DIOVAN suspension at room temperature less than 86°F (30°C) for up to 30 days, or refrigerate between 35°F - 46°F (2°C - 8°C) for up to 75 days.

• Keep DIOVAN and all medicines out of the reach of children.

General information about DIOVAN Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in patient information leaflets. Do not use DIOVAN for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give DIOVAN to other people, even if they have the same symptoms you have. It may harm them.

This leaflet summarizes the most important information about DIOVAN. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about DIOVAN that is written for health professionals.

For more information about DIOVAN, ask your pharmacist or doctor, visit www.DIOVAN.com on the Internet, or call 1-866-404-6361.

What are the ingredients in DIOVAN? Active ingredient: valsartan Inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, iron oxides (yellow, black and/or red), magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol 8000, and titanium dioxide Distributed by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.

Students Challenge CSU

2002, tuition was $1,248.

Now in 2012, tuition is $5,500. Proposition 30 was suppose to help lower tuition fees, but according to Aguirre, that is not the case.

“The board of trustees considered these fees in their last September meeting,” Aguirre said. “They were recommending them no matter the passage of prop 30. Now that prop 30 has passed. They have changed some fees, but they are still considering raising the fees.”

There are three new pro-

Osvaldo Castillo EL OBSERVADOR Graduating on time seems impossible for many students these days. Some cannot sign up for the necessary classes needed to graduate because those classes are not available. While other simply do not have the funds to pay for their education due to rising tuition cost.

On Thursday, November

8, three student-planned events held at CSU East Bay, San Jose State and SF State to express the frustration that students were feeling towards the CSU. “The purpose of these three events is to bring awareness of the proposed fees to general public and to create a place for students to speak out against the new fees,” said Herlina Aguirre, a student at San Jose State.

“The board of trustees’ reasons for the fee is to stop students from abusing the system. However, we are the ones being abused. It’s impossible for many students to get the classes needed because administration keeps reducing the sections offered and sometimes only offering them every other semester.”

CSU statewide tuition has continuously increased for the past 10 years. In

posed fees (The Super Senior Fee, Course Repeat Fee, and Third Tier Fee) that are being considered by the CSU “All three of the fees are burdening students who have been struggling for past years. The super senior fee is charging student, who are over 160 units, $372 per unit. If they cannot pay it, they have to drop out,” Aguirre said. ‘The Course repeat fee is charging students, who need to repeat a course, $91 per repeated unit. So a 3-unit course would come out to be $273. Also, the stu-

7

dent will not be allowed to take over 15 units.

The third tier fee is if student wants to go over 18 units for a semester, they would be charged almost $200 per unit.”

Students are all uncertain if they will be able to get a job after graduating due to the current struggling economy.

“We are concerned like any other person. Right now, jobs are scarce,” Aguirre said.

Food Safety Tips for Holiday Feasts

With the holiday season fast approaching, CDPH Director and State Health Officer Dr. Ron Chapman reminded consumers to take special, simple precautions to prevent illness that can be caused by food due to insufficient cooking, inadequate cooling and improper food handling practices.

“By following simple, easyto-remember food safety tips, consumers can ensure that holiday feasts do not become a source of foodborne disease,” said Chapman.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths annually in the United States are related to foodborne diseases.

Foodborne diseases can be prevented by simple safety

steps in the kitchen. Wash hands with soap and warm water before and after food preparation, and especially after handling raw foods. Clean all work surfaces, utensils and dishes with hot soapy water and rinse with hot water after each use.

Be sure to cook foods thoroughly and to refrigerate adequately between meals. For more food safety tips, visit www.cdph.ca.gov/documents/ foodsafetytips2011.pdf.

“Food safety is something we should think about every day of the year,” added Chapman. “Properly prepared and handled foods can assure us all a safe meal.”

Bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 are responsible for many foodborne illnesses, caused by eating contaminated foods. Contamination usually occurs as a result of poor food handling practices at the farms, factories, restau-

rants or homes.

Symptoms of foodborne disease include fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea which may be bloody. Most affected people recover from foodborne illnesses within a week. Some, however, may develop complications that require hospitalization. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and persons with a weakened immune system are at highest risk for potentially life-threatening complications.

Additional resources for information on food safety include the Federal Food and Drug Administration Food Information line at 1-888-SAFEFOOD (1-888-723-3366) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854). Consumers can also access the national Partnership for Food Safety Education’s “Fight BAC” (bacteria) Web site www.fightbac. org

Es tiempo de donar dinero Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY

Al igual que muchas otras medidas económicas, las donaciones de caridad en los Estados Unidos todavía deben volver a los niveles que tenían antes de la recesión. De acuerdo al Informe Anual de Estadísticas Filantrópicas de Giving USA, las contribuciones de caridad alcanzaron un total de $298.4 mil millones en 2011 – 4 por ciento por encima de 2010, pero 11 por ciento por debajo de los niveles de 2007.

La gran mayoría de estas contribuciones (73 por ciento) provinieron de personas individuales, lo cual demuestra que, incluso en tiempos de dificultad económica, la gente encuentra maneras de apoyar a organizaciones que ayudan a quienes tienen menos.

Debido a que la mitad de todas las donaciones se realizan entre la época de Acción de Gracias y Año Nuevo, es un buen momento para destacar algunos recaudos a tomar para que su donación cause el mayor impacto posible, tanto en la gente a la que desea ayudar como a usted en definitiva; también recordarles a las personas mayores sobre una política tributaria que fue modificada el año pasado: Requisitos para realizar contribuciones. Si usted detalla gastos en su declaración de impuestos de 2012, las contribuciones de caridad que tenga previsto deducir deben realizarse antes de fin de año. Eso significa que puede hacer un pago con tarjeta de crédito o débito o matasellar un cheque antes de la medianoche del 31 de diciembre de 2012.

Debe presentar un recibo

para reclamar deducciones por efectivo o propiedad, sin importar cuál sea su importe. Para contribuciones menores a $250 es suficiente presentar un cheque cancelado o un resumen de tarjeta de crédito, pero para importes superiores a $250 se requiere una declaración por escrito de la entidad de beneficencia. Consulte la Publicación 526 del IRS para obtener detalles (www. irs.gov).

Verifique la condición de exención fiscal. Para que se pueda deducir su contribución, la organización benéfica debe estar inscrita como exenta de impuestos ante el IRS. Es importante destacar que en los últimos años, el IRS ha rechazado la condición de exención fiscal de una gran cantidad de organizaciones sin fines de lucro por no haber presentado informes anuales durante tres años consecutivos, como lo exige la ley. Utilice la herramienta de Comprobación de Organizaciones Exentas del IRS (Exempt Organizations Select Check) para verificar si la organización reúne los requisitos.

Saque el máximo provecho de su dinero. Verifique que la organización sin fines de lucro beneficiaria de su donación esté bien administrada. Lo ideal es que la organización destine 75 por ciento de las contribuciones a programas que prestan servicio a sus beneficiarios en lugar de gastar en salarios, publicidad, recaudaciones de fondos y otros gastos administrativos. nvestigue el sitio web de la organización, los informes anuales y la declaración de la misión y solicite una copia de su Formulario 990 del IRS, el cual detalla de qué manera se gastan las contribuciones. Converse con miembros del personal o voluntarios, o trabaje us-

Nov 13 - Dec 31

ted mismo como voluntario. Si conoce a alguien que haya utilizado los servicios de la organización, pregúntele acerca de la eficacia y la asistencia que brinda a sus clientes.

Otros sitios de utilidad: las listas de las 10 Principales (“Top 10”) y las secciones de Consejos y Recursos (“Tips and Resources”) de Charity Navigator brindan útiles herramientas de evaluación (www.charitynavigator.org).

Además, GuideStar ofrece preguntas útiles para hacerles a los potenciales destinatarios y consejos para seleccionar una entidad de beneficencia (www.guidestar.org).

No más distribuciones directas de IRA. A fines de 2011 expiró un importante alivio impositivo para personas mayores en relación a las contribuciones de caridad. Antes, las personas mayores de 70 ½ años podían contribuir con hasta $100,000 directamente desde su cuenta IRA hacia la entidad benéfica, lo cual contaba para su Distribución Mínima Requerida anual de IRA. Con esto, las personas mayores evitaban tener que hacer que los fondos contaran como ingreso bruto ajustado y obtenían así una ventaja fiscal incluso si no detallaban las deducciones.

Finalmente, si no puede darse el lujo de realizar una donación en efectivo pero desea ayudar, considere donar tiempo. Numerosas organizaciones pueden relacionarlo con entidades benéficas locales de acuerdo a sus intereses, como por ejemplo el sitio United We Serve (www.serve.gov) del gobierno, Network for Good (www.networkforgood.org) y Volunteer Match www.vo-

But no matter the size, these gifts will bring joys

The Season of Giving to whoever receives them.

However, some of the less fortunate do not have the funds to purchase gifts or even their holiday dinner.

Fortunately for them, the Sacred Heart Community Center has made it their mission to ensure that everyone truly enjoys

this holiday season. The organization will be handing out Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, as well as Christmas Toys to those who are struggling in the community.

On Friday, November 9, many families registered for Sacred Heart’s Holiday

Food and Toy distribution.

“We want to make sure that everyone can celebrate the holidays, so we are providing food and toys to lowincome families on Thanksgiving and Christmas,” said Jay Pecot Director of Development. “We have signed up over 2,000 families so far and the next registration day is this Friday, November 16, from 9am until 1pm.

There are still a few toy registrations available.”

The families began to get in line the night before and set up tents around the building.

“We told them they did not have to wait all night because we would have enough food and toys for everyone,” Pecot said. “But they stayed anyway. This

was something that was very important to them.”

There were a total of 174 volunteers last Friday and another 100 more are expected to come this Friday.

The people that have registered so far are from Sacred Heart programs, the Washington area neighborhood and from throughout San Jose and Santa Clara county. “The only qualification for the programs is that people ask,” Pecot said. “The program is intended for low-income families who do not have money to afford their own celebrations this year.”

“This morning we had 62 turkeys in our freezer and that is far short of the 4,000 we need for next week. If

people can help us by donating food. We ask that they bring it in by this Friday. Please donate frozen turkeys,” Pecot said.

This is an annual event for Sacred Heart. It is one of the first actions by the founder of Sacred Heart Community Service, Louise Benson. It has expanded to the thousands that we help every year during the holidays, in addition to the food distribution that the organization operates throughout the year.

A check can be mailed directly to Sacred Heart’s office at 1381 South First St., San Jose, CA 95110. Their tax ID is 23-7179787 and they are a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit.

Celebrated artist Favianna Rodriguez visits San Jose Veronica Taylor Ramirez SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR

cally, almost a decade before laws targeting the gay community were repealed.

Locally and internationally celebrated artist, Favianna Rodriguez lectured on advocacy through the arts at the Mexican American Plaza, last Thursday, November 8, in San Jose.

“Politics are going to be changing quite a bit,” said Tamara Alvarado, Director of Community Access and Civic Engagement for the Mexican Heritage Plaza and School of Arts and Culture.

“It’s really interesting to see how artists use information, like hard facts and how it actually trickles down into their artwork and gets represented there in a way that’s still beautiful and very compelling,” said Alvarado.

The event was presented by the Latina Coalition Silicon Valley, The County of Santa Clara Women’s Policy, and the Mexican Heritage Plaza’s School of Arts and Culture.

“Our legacy is really about providing Latinas with the tools, the resources the education, support, to run for office, to participate in the community on boards and on commissions, and also we educate Latinas in civic engagement,” said Elisa Orona, President of the Latina Coalition Silicon Valley.

Rodriguez also focused some of her lecture on theimportance of women’s

Rodriguez lectures globally on the power of art, cultural organization, technology, and leads workshops across the country.

“Arts and culture are the conditions that lead to a climactic moment,” said Rodriguez. “In order to have any kind of social change in this country, you need a cultural shift.”

Rodriguez said that through art and culture, ideas are spread and eventually those ideas are slowly accepted by society. “Cultural change, precedes political change,” said Rodriguez.

She used Jackie Robinson as a historical example.

Robinson broke the color barrier in sports culture years before desegregation.

Rodriguez also used Ellen Degeneres as an example.

Rodriguez said that women are often culturally represented as either a virgin or whore. ““When she [Rodriguez] said, in culture women are either put into two categories, you’re either a virgin

or a whore, I think that women are a lot more than that, than just to be defined by their bodies,” said Hermina Ojeda, financial advisor, an attendee of the lecture.

Recently, Rodriguez lectured in Montreal, Canada.

Rodriguez’s artwork features issues such as immi gration, food justice, social

issues and women’s issues.

“Right now my main focus is immigration, I think that the dialogue is so full, of hate and xenophobia, I think that art and culture really has an important cultural role to play in transforming that debate,” said Rodriguez. “

Famoso Clarividente

“Edgar Cayce: clarividente, psíquico y profeta estadounidense”

pidió a uno de sus amigos que le asistiera mientras él, experimentaba el estado de sueño inducido y fue así como pudo memorizar sus textos nuevamente.

Mario Jiménez Castillo EL OBSERVADOR

Ya entrado en trance, Cayce procuró la adecuada sugestión y logró recuperar el habla. También descubrió el origen del padecimiento, sugiriendo al mismo tiempo el tratamiento más adecuado.

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), es reconocido como un de los grandes talentos psíquicos de la historia. Sus predicciones sobre el futuro han asombrado al mundo. Su popularidad alcanzó fama mundial gracias a las biografías que han sido escritas sobre su vida y obra. Entre estas biografías resalta una que es considerada la más importante “The Sleeping Prophet” (“El Profeta Durmiente”), escrita por Jess Stearn.

Cayce nació el 18 de Marzo de 1877 en Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Desde niño, demostró habilidades psíquicas impresionantes. Durante su adolescencia descubrió que durmiéndose sobre sus textos podía memorizarlos completamente.

A la edad de 20 años sufrió de una parálisis en las cuerdas vocales que le impidió hablar y de la cual no podía curarse; hasta que le

Al poco tiempo un grupo de médicos de Kentucky, se dieron cuenta de los poderes psíquicos de Cayce, quien solamente al tener el nombre y dirección de una persona en cualquier parte del mundo, éste podía diagnosticar cualquier problema de salud que la persona padeciera. Y no solamente eso, fue capaz de curar a muchos a través de la distancia utilizando el poder de su mente y sus dones curativos.

Al entrar Cayce en el estado de sueño hipnótico era capaz de hacer diagnósticos, recomendar tratamientos, además aclarar las dudas y contestar preguntas de quienes le consultaban. Fue así como la fama de Cayce logró traspasar las fronteras de

Estados Unidos hacia otros continentes.

Uno de los aportes más importantes del profeta Durmiente en el campo onírico fue la teoría que formuló con respecto a los colores. Según Edgar Cayce las tonalidades de los colores que se presentan en el sueño son indicio de las emociones y sentimientos que el soñador esté experimentando durante la vigilia.

Colores resplandecientes y vibrantes indican que se está obrando de buena manera y que nuestras buenas acciones serán recompensadas.

Cuando se presentan colores y matices sombríos significa que existen sentimientos de culpa, remordimientos y hasta deseos malsanos que enturbian la vida durante la vigilia y que finalmente anuncian la llegada del tiempo para la cosecha del karma.

Gran cuantía de las predicciones de Cayce se dieron a través de sueños, y en esos sueños, la intensidad de los colores que advertía en los mismo parece que fue una de las claves que utilizaba a la hora de hacer sus impresionantes pronósticos para el futuro de la humanidad y del planeta.

Just Say NO to Crack

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR Recently I have been reading a lot about guy’s skinny-jeans. It seems a lot of people are against them however the number of men I see wearing them keeps increasing. Why do you think this is so?

First let me tell you, I love slim jeans, the ones with straight, narrow leg; in fact, most of my pants are this cut nowadays and I’ll tell you why.

to you other than you’ll actually be able to procreate.

First, skinny-jeans for men are the new boot-cut, they enhance every shape and make them look leaner and longer, not to mention they showcase the footwear more— there lies another chance to make an impression on the opposite sex with your good taste in shoes.

Slim pants or jeans should be straight cut and not made like jeggings because jeggings only look good on women and sometimes not even them.

Skinny-jeans make me look long, lean and, when worn correctly, confident about my looks. However I have been also found guilty of wearing the oh-so tight skinny-jeans they might as well should’ve been jeggings and this is a problem.

Choosing the right fit of skinny-jeans is just that, the right fit. If the jeans make your muffin top overflow and they cling on to your calf muscles so tightly, then my friend these are not the right fit.

There is a very clear difference between wearing skinny-jeans that are low rise and slim at the leg, and skinny-jeans that are so tight that everyone gets to witness how you kill your future offsprings ever so slowly.

True, nowadays jeans have not only gotten skinnier at the legs but they have also gotten a lower rise, which means the distance between the crotch and the waist is shorter; all the more reasons why getting the right fit is imperative.

But let’s analyze a little more why choosing the right fit will prove beneficial

Nobody wants to see your hairy ass crack or love handles overflowing like

nobody’s business. So, let’s say you went ahead and bought yourself your first pair of skinny jeans because you want to stay on trend with the rest of your friends.

You made sure to follow my advice and got the right fit, now what?

Well, something I didn’t mention, you wear a tank top!! And I’ll tell you why.

I was walking with my BFF the other day and we decided to go take a look at the tile artwork getting installed at the place we work, so we walked over and what a surprise we got.

The first thing we caught in full view was not the artwork, but the installer’s butt crack-it was not a pretty sight this is also another reason why I recommend my friends and readers to keep it kempt and clean down there, but that’s another story.

But seriously, do me and the rest of the world a favor and, next time you decide to wear your skinny-jeans, make sure you save us from flashing your coin slot every time you reach down to fetch that lucky penny by wearing a tank top and jeans that actually fit.

Los diferentes métodos de uso de los medios digitales reflejan el sonido Mexicano contra algunas de las guitarras y flautas que se encuentran en el fondo, la totalidad del álbum se centra en los sintetizadores y paisajes sonoros.

Arturo Hilario EL OBSERVADOR Después de cuatro anos regresan los miembros de la banda alternativa Mexicana Café Tacvba con su álbum Él Objeto Antes Llamado Disco. Este álbum fue lanzado el 22 de Octubre de

Da Julio Bracho voz al antagonista de “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” Mexico NOTIMEX El actor mexicano Julio Bracho, quien también ha incursionado como director de cine, calificó como alucinante su experiencia de prestar su voz al antagonista del nuevo videojuego “Call of Duty: Black Ops II”, cuyo lanzamiento a nivel mundial se realizó este martes.

En entrevista con Notimex, el histrión explicó que es la segunda vez que trabaja como actor de doblaje, pues la primera fue en “Need For Speed: The Run” (2011), “es alucinante porque mi personaje se autonombra el mesías del 99 por ciento y la historia se centra en una guerra entre Estados Unidos y China para buscar un nuevo mundo”.

La saga continúa con un título que centra al usuario en el año 2025 y el juego le

permite tomar decisiones que modifican el desarrollo de la historia, además de que representa el regreso del modo Zombi, con agregados –Tranzit y Grief– en donde los usuarios deberán enfrentar a esos personajes.

Bracho aseguró que para realizar este personaje tuvo que analizar toda la documentación sobre la historia y el videojuego, “además de

que con ayuda del director fuimos creando la línea del personaje, así como las secuencias”.

Apuntó que hacer doblaje es algo muy complicado porque además de actuar como si fuera una película, “tienes que ser muy veraz y saber que tu única herramienta es la voz para poder transmitir las emociones y reacciones del personaje”.

Otra canción, “Andamos”, suena como una canción de Radiohead del álbum Amnesiac. Luego está el single principal, “De Este Lado del Camino”, que es muy parecido a una balada española con tambores bajos en el fondo y un aumento constante de los efectos y la voz de Albarrán, que termina en una desaparición eficaz y sutil de los sonidos, excepto por una suave guitarra tocando las notas finales.

San Jose Earthquakes Sign Jason Hernandez to New Contract San Jose CALIFORNIA

The San Jose Earthquakes announced that they have signed defender Jason Hernandez and midfielder Sam Cronin to new contracts. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cronin and Hernandez were regular starters during the club’s historic Supporters’ Shield run in 2012, helping set a new franchise mark for points in a season with 66. San Jose reached the Western Conference Semifinals with a 19-6-9 record, tops in MLS.

Hernandez is one of two players on the Earthquakes’ current roster who were with the club during their 2008 expansion season. The stalwart

He was a key piece on an

Earthquakes back line that produced seven clean sheets in 2012.

Among the highlight moments for Hernandez last season was a gamewinning assist in the club’s memorable 3-2 comeback win against the LA Galaxy at The Home Depot Center on May 23. He also picked up MLS Save of the Week honors after denying Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio with a header off the line in a 2-1 San Jose win at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 23.

“Jason has been an important part of this team,” said Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop. “You can always count on his work rate and his veteran presence both in the locker room and as a part of our back line. We’re happy to have him back in San Jose for seasons to come.”
